On one hand, I would like the first thing Trump does when he gets back into office to be to default and lead America into years of economic downturn.
On the other hand, I don’t want to live through YET another economic downturn.
On the practical side of things, their is enough Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the house and senate that will vote for anything that raises the debt limit to get it passed - the only barrier is scheduling a vote in the house. When democrats only will vote for a democratic speaker and republicans can only loose 3 votes off of a majority and recall with 1 vote, the needed vote to pass the house becomes 436-2.

Going backwards. House rules have been changed and it takes more than one member to bring a motion to Vacate.
Trump is today supporting Johnson so maybe he’ll be reelected speaker.
I don’t know what Democrats will do, but they won’t open the debt limit to unlimit debt as Trump wants.
